Buying Considerations
Match the machine to your application: Electric models (B18X-7, BC30S-7) for indoor warehouses and light outdoor; diesel models (D70S-9, DV180/250S-9) for heavy outdoor and industrial use; warehouse equipment (BR18SP-7 Plus) for narrow aisles and order picking.
New vs. Used: New 2026 models offer the latest technology and full warranty. Used Bobcat forklifts offer significant savings – auction units start as low as $1,000.
Check key specifications: Lift capacity, lift height, mast type, power source, and hours (for used units).
Auction risks: Most auction units are sold “as-is, where-is” with no warranty. Verify condition before bidding.
Financing and incentives: Bobcat frequently offers financing promotions – check with your dealer for current offers (e.g., 0% for 36 months on select models).
Dealer support: Buying from an authorized Bobcat dealer ensures access to genuine parts, factory-trained technicians, and warranty support.
